Dez Bryant Really Got The Worst Of That Training Camp Fight

Cam Newton Mashes Josh Norman In Training Camp Fight
The best part of NFL training camp isn’t sitting out in 90-degree weather to watch your team run 7-on-7 or punt return walkthroughs. No, the best part of training camp is always the fights. And today, Carolina Panthers quarterback and demigod Cam Newton found himself demolishing a mortal cornerback....
Watch Sydney Seau's Tribute To Her Father At His Hall Of Fame Induction
Junior Seau told his daughter Sydney before his death that he wanted her to speak on his behalf if he ever made it into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Dez Bryant Trades Haymakers With Teammate At Training Camp
This training camp fight between Dez Bryant and Tyler Patmon is an ideal version of the form, I suppose. There’s a lot of bluster and some big punches thrown, but no actual damage done, so both parties get to walk away looking tough and cool....
Mets Blow Game, Mets Grounds Crew Blows Rain Delay
Rain forced a 45-minute delay in Queens today as the Mets were an out away from finishing up a win over San Diego. That delay was lifted just long enough for Jeurys Familia to give up the lead thanks to a three-run Justin Upton homer—which forced a bottom of the ninth. Well, that bottom of the ninth...
Junior Seau's Family Banned From Speaking At His Hall Of Fame Induction
Junior Seau’s induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame next month will feature a video celebrating his on-field accomplishments, but no mention of his football-caused brain injuries or his self-inflicted fatal gunshot wound in 2012. It also will not feature any words from his family members....

The Kauffman Stadium Dugout Flooded Pretty Badly

Klay Thompson Suffers "Concussion-Like Symptoms" After Knee To Head
The NBA’s concussion policy is flawed. It is not necessarily that the NBA, its teams, and its players are trying to hide concussions—though they certainly have the incentive to do so—but that concussions cannot be adequately diagnosed by a ten-minute battery of tests in the locker room. We got a sta...
The Warriors Had No Idea If Steph Curry Had A Concussion Last Night
Steph called it the scariest fall of his career. “You’re in the air for a long time,” he said after the game, “not knowing how you’re going to hit the floor, knowing that it’s inevitable.” Curry’s taken harder hits—and come away with worse symptoms—but that second-and-a-half or so of unexpected flig...
